Almost-everywhere asymptotic periodicity for dissipative outer billiards of regular polygons

For a regular polygon and a parameter λ(0,1)\lambda\in(0,1), let TλT_\lambda denote its dissipative outer billiard map. Asymptotic periodicity conjecture. For almost every λ(0,1)\lambda\in(0,1), the map TλT_\lambda is asymptotically periodic. Numerical experiments suggest this conjecture, while the paper notes that asymptotic periodicity is not true for every dissipative outer polygonal billiard and that a complete description of bifurcations of the ω\omega-limit set remains unavailable in general.
